What this changes for the visitor and the team.

  1. 01

    Model choices in the visitor's language.

    Group related categories under public labels such as Store type, Services, Product range or Accessibility rather than exposing an internal data model.

  2. 02

    Choose broad or precise matching.

    Match any selected option for discovery, or require every selection when the visitor is building a specific combination.

  3. 03

    Keep large filter sets readable.

    Use inline controls for a small set, dropdowns for larger groups and optional counts to show the effect of each choice before it is selected.

Workflow

From configuration to a checked public result.

  1. 1

    Create concise categories for facts visitors genuinely use to narrow the network.

  2. 2

    Group related choices, set their public labels and assign them manually or during import and sync.

  3. 3

    Choose display and matching behavior, then test locations with several categories and with none.

Included capability

  • Multiple independently labelled filter groups
  • Inline and dropdown presentation
  • Match-any and match-all behavior
  • Counts beside available choices
  • Category colors and icons on results and map markers
  • Open-now filtering alongside custom categories

The boundary

Filters describe the location records you supply; Handled does not infer product availability or live inventory. If availability changes in a source system, update it through the dashboard, CSV or Google Sheets workflow.

Try the feature against your own location list.

Start with representative data, test the real visitor journey and keep the locator only if it handles the job your website needs.
